Symptoms
When attempting to connect to a RAC service name, the connection intermittently fails with an ORA-12545 error: TNS: Host or object doesn't exist. The expected behavior is that the connection would be redirected to any of the VIP listeners in the cluster. This is normal under RAC Cluster node load balancing.
However, when the server side listener endpoints are not correctly configured OR the client cannot resolve all forms of the VIP hostname, this connect-time issue can arise.
Changes
This is likely a new installation of RAC cluster.
